Are you looking for something fun for the kids to do this holiday season? Our holiday craft kit is the perfect purchase for adding a little holiday magic! Individually wrapped as presents they can be separated and used for winter break, or anytime in December. You can even throw a couple into a stocking as last minute candy-free filler that can keep kids entertained just long enough to suck down a morning coffee before busting into the Christmas chaos.

Crafts include
-Surfs Up with Santa & Snowman — a finger puppet craft that allows Santa & snowman to surf 🏄‍♂️

-Ornamental Keepsake — 6 colorable ornaments with varying designs and hanging hooks ornament

-Gingerbread Display — a colorful gingerbread house window display with 3 gingerbread people

-Oh Christmas Tree— using either sun or a flashlight kids create a light up Christmas tree that can project onto any hard surface.

-Choice between red, green, or blue play dough
& optional scents of peppermint or vanilla

*All of our play-dough is non-toxic, and made using organic flour, cream of tartar, salt, filtered water, and food safe dye & scents.*

Looking for something spooky to visit this Halloween? Check out the Capitola Halloween parade starting at 5:30pm Monday. Enter our lair if you dare! We’ll have a free play table full of potions, playdough, slime, and all the ingredients you’ll need to make your own potion! Using scraps I created a double carport wide spider that moves (and sometimes bites). We’ve got a haunted forest, witches lair, and an excellent photo point with our ghost cut outs. This is a totally free event. We hope to see you there! Parade route in the comments!

Hey Season Smiles Family! Halloween Update!

Halloween is on the horizon and unfortunately as many of you know my dad has been sick. Even worse he recently got covid at his rehabilition facility. When it rains it pours right? With this in mind we are still putting a pause on box production with a hope to return during the winter holidays. If you are missing a delivery please pm me, all past orders should be distributed at this point.

However! Halloween is my FAVORITE of all the holidays so I simply MUST do something. If I can gather enough support I plan on doing a Halloween Craft event at Delavega Park on Saturday Morning of the 23rd. We will be making 3-D paper mache mummies and doing a wizardly group experiment in my cauldron & everyone will be sent home with a small bag of crafty goodies. Please shoot a comment if this seems interesting and I’ll keep you updated! Best for ages 3-9!

Hey Season Smiles Family! We have some updates on Spring!

The good news— Spring boxes (deliveries start April 1st) are available for pre-order as is the Bunny Basket! The bad news — we have downsized our boxes. Due to family obligations I simply had too. So what’s in these new Spring boxes?

Eight seasonally themed tactile activities exploring various concepts including: plant life cycles, the importance of trees, bees, butterflies and slugs, and even SPACE! Using sensory projects, and stem based activities kids will be able to expand upon existing skills while learning all about spring! This box is geared toward kids 3-8!

-Each box is $25 for pickup or $35 to deliver OR ship.
-$5 off shipping/delivery with the purchase of two boxes. 📦 📦

We hope to offer an updated version monthly! If you are ordering online please know we JUST updated the website so changes may still be processing. Please be patient ❤️ but if issues persist tomorrow don’t hesitate to reach out!

Our holiday boxes continue to contain 5 activities but are now $20 for pickup, $25 to deliver locally, or $30 to ship. The Bunny Basket will come in a box for shipping orders. Photos of bunny basket coming soon 🐰

We plan to run an ad this month and may sell out so pre-orders are recommended to hold a box! We look forward to keeping your seasons sensational 🌈
